Development
Monroe and Michigan Ave, NE
Dear PoPville,
The company building some of the new developments at the Monroe Street Market posted a teaser on their Facebook page for what retail businesses are coming to their project. I think they’ve included clues in the teaser, but I’m not smart enough to figure them out. Like the bank with a “stagecoach” is obviously Wells-Fargo. Any idea on the others?
1- Our Brookland Works buildings MAY have a “white table cloth” type restaurant. It would be great if this place offered a wide range of cold beverage options, wouldn’t it???? One can only hope I guess!
2- Brookland Works MAY also include a bike shop with a coffee component to it. What a cool concept right on the Metropolitan Branch Bike Path!
3- Need some financial services? Maybe a Bank? Maybe a horse and stagecoach I mean car loan?
4- Several casual dining establishments, perfect for lunch on the go or a sit down meal? Let your mind run on that one! No really, let it run…
5- A large scale bookstore…When I say large, I don’t mean small.
6- Twenty Seven Art Studios…Artist Applicants, keep your fingers crossed!!! We are still selecting and you’ve made it very difficult for us! You are all so wonderful, but we only have 27 spaces :(
(big THANK YOU to CulturalDC for your help on this!)
7- And the big question we all keep hearing from everyone! “ARE WE GETTING A GROCERY STORE?!?!?!?!”…”WELL ARE WE??????”
And in other big development news – Shaw’s Parcel 42 [1707 7th Street NW] has selected Shaw 42 Developers, LLC to develop the lot. From ANC Commissioner Kevin Chappel:
The Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) has select the Shaw 42 Developers, LLC, a joint venture between TenSquare and the Chapman Development Group to develop Parcel 42. The Shaw 42 Developers’ proposal was most attractive to DMPED because they were the only developers to offer the city a 99 year ground lease, which means after 99 years, the land and the building on Parcel 42 will revert back to the ownership and control of the city government unless and new lease is negotiated and agreed to by the city and the developers.
The proposal detailed the plans:
Shaw 42 Developers proposes 7 floors of approximately 15 residential units each, totaling 105 apartment housing units. In accordance with industry best practices, the 21 units dedicated to affordable housing will be evenly distributed throughout the building on all floors and among all unit types. These units will be available solely to households having annual incomes at or below 50% of Area Median Income (AMI). These market rate households will join the new residents of Progression Place and CityMarket at O in patronizing local small businesses and revitalizing the 7th Street corridor in Shaw. The development program includes the construction of 104,604 gross sq ft, directly across from a Metro Station. The net leasable square footage is 78,239 sq ft of residential space. The development program is supported by up to 114 parking spaces available for both the residential and retail uses. The total development budget for the conceived project is more than $37,000,000 and requires no cash subsidy from the District. The affordable housing component is funded by the sale of 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits and the land value generated by the market rate uses.
Ed. Note: This is the parcel that became a tent camp back in July 2010.

The JBG one is the one that has the Harris Teeter going in as well. But either selection, this is gonna be a mind blowing transformation.
Though the small old church was demoed, in Oct. 2012 Here’s how the site basically looks today:
2012

From a press release:
Douglas Development announced that it has purchased a new mixed-use property in Chinatown DC, located at 700 5th St., NW, behind the Verizon Center. The 10,000 SF building includes 3 levels of office space and 4,000 SF of street level retail.
Douglas Development purchased this property from the DC-based law firm, Wingfield & Ginsburg, PC. The law firm has since leased back all of the office space from Douglas Development.
Burger King is located currently on the ground floor, but will relocate once its lease expires in early 2014. Douglas Development is in the process of selecting a new retailer to add to its portfolio of trendy Chinatown restaurants that include Graffiato, Sixth Engine, Legal Sea Foods, Matchbox, District of Pi, and new restaurants, Lime Fresh Mexican Grill and NoPa Kitchen + Bar, opening later this year.
Speaking of development in Brookland…
A reader sends in a shot of Monroe Street Market rising at Monroe and Michigan Ave, NE. The reader titles the photo above: “Schwing”
For those not familiar with the project you can read more details here:

In late Feb. we learned the Farenheit condos were coming to the “Goins building” located at the corner of Georgia and Shepherd St, NW. Thanks to those who sent emails about the demo taking place.
Though, I’m saddened nobody salvaged the sign:
Lots of progress at the Petworth Flats coming to 4226 7th St, NW. It will be 1 and 2 bedroom condos. The building had been boarded up since Oct. 2009.
Here’s how it looked in 2010:
Vermont Ave and T St, NW
The development at 1900 Vermont Ave, NW is really starting to take shape.
Hard to believe it was just a vacant lot in 2010:

Thanks to @JRogers202 for tweeting us the update:
“post on Chapman Stables in #TruxtonCircle – it is now in the DC Inventory of Historic Sites – no razing”
From the Historic Preservation Review Board:
After careful consideration, the Historic Preservation Office recommends that the Board revise the boundaries of the proposed landmark application to include only the garage and stable building at 37-57 N Street, NW on Square 617 Lot 215, and that the Board designate the building a Historic Landmark to be entered into the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites. Staff recommends that the Board forward the nomination to the National Register with the identified revised boundaries. Staff further recommends that the property name be Chapman Coal Company Stable and Garage to more fully reflect the history of the property.
